Day 18 MAKGADIKGADI PANS [tented Lodge or Chalets BL-]The shimmering saltpans of Makgadikgadi are the size of Switzerland and most of the time appear as a glaring, white, endless plain. When the rain comes a dramatic change takes place as the pans come to life with frantically feeding water birds and great herds of zebra, wildebeest and springbok. Day 19, 20, 21 ZAMBIA / VICTORIA FALLS [tented camp Bx3 - -]Magnificent Victoria Falls is one of seven natural wonders of the world. David Livingstone 'discovered' the falls in 1885 and named them after his queen.

The falls are the centre of a wide range of activities, including white water rafting, elephant back rides and scenic flights (own expense). Tour ends.
